      I heard all about this on the AM talk radio and Fox news. Ha Ha, no I didn’t and it will not be covered there or anywhere on the right wing bubble outlets. This should be a huge story during the election and force Trump to denounce Putin as an enemy but his minions just don’t give a shit about this country. They would let Putin take us over before agreeing to work with those evil Libs. MAGA=Traitors.

      I want to know the 32 domain names, as well as ALL the “influencers” that took money.

      Thanks DoJ!

      You ALL have to read these documents!

      Exhibit A: https://www.justice.gov/opa/media/1366201/dl

      Exhibit B: https://www.justice.gov/opa/media/1366196/dl

      Exhibit C: https://www.justice.gov/opa/media/1366191/dl

      IMO, I wish this went a lot faster, but maybe catching them earlier wouldn’t have made much difference and it’s better to have gotten them all so deeply red handed and able to put them all away and make examples of them?

      I feel like this must only be the tip of the iceberg. Much of the GOP (if not all of it) has been spouting Russian propaganda during the MAGA era.

      sweet. all those maga shmocks who insisted that the narrative of russian meddling is but a conspiracy theory… suck it.

      they won’t, but it’s good to know we can use proof against their juvenile attempts at gaslighting. if anything, just for our own mental health.

      I hope this story goes front page (after the shooting). I think it’s huge.

      Benny Johnson and Tim Pool were two I’ve observed over the years. Their playbook is coordinated, they “report” news and share videos, they distort perceptions and create culture war narratives over any detail.

      These folks have done so much damage to the maga brain. They’re the reason why anyone still in the maga cult isn’t coming back. And it’s all been influenced by Russia. Republican voters have been brainwashed by Russian influenced propaganda for nearly a decade.

      They’re all free thinkers by the way. Way smarter than the rest of us right?

      If this is illegal, then all the Republican congressmen who visited Russia should be an easy case right?

      I mean is this a surprise? The Trump kid said the Trump Organization received a “disproportionate amount of funding from Russia” in 2014…

    17. mollusks75 on

      Recent disclosure around funding for X showed significant contributions from Russians close to Putin. Let’s do them next.

      Speaking of which, hey Putin, your **DJT** account balance is getting low, you need to make a top-up.

      The past year from $66 to $17… and even lower after afterhours trading. MAGA retail investors probably still on this boat. [queue the Titanic song]

      >just so everyone knows the talking points, we’re the real victims

      -dim tool, all over twitter.

      Bigger news would be if they found a MAGA media group that was not backed by Russian money.

    29. mvw2 on

      “bombshell” I’m not sure of they understand the meaning of that word.

      Trump is Russia backed. Every new “news* organization that amazingly popped up overnight and are also so amazingly Trump idolizing, gee, who knew they’d be Russian driven. Weird. So weird. I’m so glad the DOJ could connect those dots. I mean…it’s only heading towards a decade now. I know. It takes time to get the those two neurons to connect. But now they’re firing on both cylinders. Time to get shir done right? Right? Reverse a decade of propaganda spam? Yeah?

    36. PoliticalHitJob on

      DOJ should be looking into how Tucker Carlson is getting paid these days as well. FARA violations galore I’m sure.

    38. PhyterNL on

      You’re telling me the thing we’ve said was true all this time is true? I’m blown away by the DOJ’s investigative sagacity.

    40. impulseresponsive on

      For the people who saw the russian money wire story in 2015 before it was silenced…. DUH. JESUS CHRIST. wake the fuck up. Putin made trump. and his wild card is jill stein.

    41. voyagerdoge on

      Probably the whole concept of MAGA is Russian made too, from their book about how to sow division in the West. I mean, could you imagine Donald Trump coming up with that slogan with his team of fascist sycophants?

    42. yinyanghapa on

      Seeing how the worldwide far right wing is coordinated, and with evidence that each one is backed by the Russians, one can only conclude that Putin is the mastermind behind the far right movement and the attempted destruction of democracy.
